Julius J. Carry III the man who portrayed Sho’nuff The Shogun of Harlem in The Last Dragon was only 56 when he died from pancreatic Cancer on this day in 2008. Can you believe that it has already been 5 years since his passing?
It’s hard to put into words just how great of a job he did on screen in The Last Dragon. Sho’nuff is quite possibly the greatest movie villain of all-time. His bad-assness must be seen to be appreciated. Check out some of his video highlights below:

Who could forget when Sho’nuff burst onto the scene, introducing himself as the meanest, prettiest, baddest mofo low down around this town:

Brisco County, Jr. He was so fantastic as Lord Bowler. I honestly didn’t know of his passing. This truly saddens me and breaks my heart. I thank God for him. Viva Julius Carry!!!
I’m just finding out Julius Carry died.
I just found out now! R.I.P.
This character was a part of my childhood.
Sho Nuff and Bruce Lee Roy were my favorite actors of all time when I was a youngster. My cousins and I replayed that movie over and over again, while practicing karate moves on one another. All while arguing who’s girl is Laura Charles! Lol. I can honestly say the last dragon will never be topped, in this lifetime or the next. Thanks for the great memories to all the actors and RIP SHO NUFF! You were the badass no fo shogun of Harlom…..
Aww this makes me so sad. Half way though watching Brisco County Jr. right now and love Lord Bowler. Had to look him up but now I’m so sad, what an awesome actor but man is it making this hard to watch right now. Rest in peace mate.

Sho nuff was a chi town cat like me so his tough street sense on the big screen came natural you are truely missed check it leave the Last Dragon as it is You can not remake a classic Belly New Jack City or Three Stooges etc. Leave as history ya ?
The Last Dragon….One of the best movies ever made. Bruce LeeRoy and Sho Nuff phenomenal. This movie is a classic and will always be there. Thirty years later I believe it’s making another round and people are either finding out about this movie or still love it. I remember it back in the 80’s and it was amazing back then and amazing now. RIP Sho Nuff. The world will miss you buddy.
I loved him in Brisco County, he was such a good foil for Bruce Campbell and I was so pissed when the series was cancelled.
